I also like to knock the bottom out. The fish seem a little happier when they have a backdoor and it allows for better water circulation around the nest.

I had two or three in my angelfish tank. They loved laying eggs on it

13cm = 5" for us that are behind the rest of the world.
I like the 6" and the hole in the bottom is large enough for the male to swim in and out of and the female can stick her head out of it.

How do you break out the bottom so that they don't get cut on it as they swim through it?

I think the most ideal size for the clay pot would depend on the size and species of clownfish you are trying to breed... For instance my perculas consistently lay in a 4" pot, but if you had a larger species of clownfish, like maroons, then a 6" would def. be the way to go.

I would buy a 80 grit drum sander bit and stick it in a drill and soften the edges.
Here is what they look like and can be purchased at any big box stores http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?p...FSJlMgod5hoATA
